when sales of Xperia Tablet S will resume ? im wanna buy it
They're resuming it now... try checking with local authorized distributors.

Regarding issues with mine newly bought Xperia Tablet S, I have two so far...

1 - SD card slot doesn't lock the card as expected, tablet will have to go back for repair...
2 - Skype "dies" unexpectedly during videoconference... Haven't figured out yet why...

For now my eXPERIence sucks... but I believe that after getting this sorted out, things will be just fine!

Has anyone else noticed serious performance issues with the GPS?

With my Nexus 7 I can have the GPS lock in under a minute from inside a vehicle. With my Xperia Tablet S, the GPS never actually locks.
Hi there,
have you tried:
1. restarting the tablet and waiting for the GPS fix in your car
versus
2. before entering the car, try having the tablet pick up some satellites while you are in an uncluttered area with some free sky above your head. Then once the tablet sees 8 satellites or so (after let's say 2 to 5 mins), you put it in standby (i.e. you power off the screen but do not turn the tablet off) and then get into your car. After switching the tablet on again, the situation should be a little better?

Scenario 1 (cold boot) and 2 should have different GPS fix times (scenario 2 being faster for all the GPS fixes that you can obtain after the initial satellite lock).
Have you tried scenario 2?

I have a sony tablet s: I also find the GPS performance to be disappointing but this at least proved to be helpful.

I have also opened a thread on the Xperia tablet S GPS performance: you might want to drop down a few lines over there as well about your experiance.

Hope this helps
;)

wish you well

My Tablet S Hangs when downloading something on 3g or wifi, then i have to reset it using a pin. Is it something related to the write speed of its internal memory ? This never happens when i m on 2g networks.
